I painted this still life from photos I took at a Barry Thomas workshop I attended earlier this year. We did quick small studies of these brightly lit subjects which were spread out on a large table. I may paint a larger version of this. I love the glowing effect and intense color.Visit my gallery to--Purchase $185.00 + $10.00 shipping (for international shipping, please e-mail me )

This particular sunflower looked young and hopeful to me. My sunflowers didn't get very large this summer. This was one whose stalk and leaves weren't eaten by deer because it was closer to my house.

I am very pleased that my Magnolia trees are making it through our very hot and dry summer and producing some beautiful blooms like this one. I don't know if my favorite parts to paint are the white petals or the twisting waxy leaves. But I really enjoy the shadows and the rust-colored undersides of the leaves.

This painting was about reflections and light on the egg and eggshells in a clear green bowl. I looked for subtle changes in color in the light and dark passages. That made it a slightly mysterious and happy painting!Visit my gallery to--Purchase $130.00 + $10.00 shipping (for international shipping, please e-mail me )

This is the third time I've painted the sweet calico cat named Sarah. She remains an adorable image to paint for me.

About Me

I'm a life-long artist and I love to paint animals, nature and the close-up intimacy of still lifes. I've always felt the urge to create. Joining the Daily Painter's group in 2006 has helped me to work consistently on creating art in smaller formats along with my larger paintings. I continue to be challenged to search for what inspires me personally. Thank-you for visiting and I'd like to hear from you! I also paint commissioned pet and animal portraits. For more information send me an e-mail.

A great way to display petite paintings is in a small display easel. Below is a photo of my painting, "Black-Capped Chick-a-Dee", in a small easel on a table in my entry room. Or if you prefer, you can frame it and hang it on your wall.
